What We Offer
Gain confidence and essential skills for outdoor adventures. Our 4-hour courses cover vital topics like trip planning, risk management, incident response, and basic first aid, designed to prepare you for the unexpected.
Outdoor Safety Training (OST) provides short, affordable courses designed to give you practical skills for outdoor recreation. Unlike longer, more expensive alternatives, our programs deliver essential knowledge efficiently, empowering you to handle challenging situations with confidence.
*Please note: our courses are NOT an alternative to EMT, OEC, WFR, or other longer courses. Rather, they are stepping stone for building knowledge and confidence in outdoor safety. We cannot teach you everything in four hours, and we always recommend continuing education.*
